Exciting new chapter in refractive surgery

EVO offers patients an exciting new chapter in refractive surgery:

• Does not induce dry eye syndrome⁴
• Rapid visual recovery^3,6
• Superb quality of vision¹
• Excellent night vision⁵
• No risk of ectasia⁶
• Improved quality of life⁵

STAAR’s exclusive, premium Collamer^® material

EVO uses STAAR’s exclusive, premium Collamer^® material

• Collamer is derived from two words that describe the composition of the material: “Collagen” and “Copolymer”.
• Collamer is a copolymer of poly-HEMA and collagen, that offers UV protection.
• Collamer has a proven history of over 20 years with more than 2 million ICL lenses distributed worldwide.
• Collamer minimizes inflammation, flare and cellular reaction.^8,9

Why is the EVO ICL family of lenses* (EVO) a Game Changer?

• High rate of patient satisfaction¹
• Preserves the cornea and crystalline lens³
• Low rate of adverse events¹
• Outstanding safety and effectiveness^1,2
• No preoperative peripheral iridotomies (PIs)
• Outstanding postoperative uncorrected visual acuity¹

 * The EVO family of lenses includes EVO ICL, EVO Toric ICL, EVO+ ICL and EVO+ Toric ICL.

Great for you, great for your patients

Effectiveness

The effectiveness of EVO is demonstrated by the high levels of postoperative uncorrected visual acuity, refractive predictability and stability¹ enjoyed by patients. Efficacy Index is defined as UCVA (Uncorrected Visual Acuity) after treatment divided by CDVA (Corrected Distance Visual Acuity) before treatment (UCVA post/CDVA pre).

Refractive Stability

Excellent refractive stability.

IOP Stability

Intraocular pressure (IOP) is well controlled.

Predictability

High predictability across a large diopter range.

Rotational Stability

Of 629 eyes implanted with EVO, only one eye with a toric lens required surgical repositioning for residual astigmatism (Data from U.S. FDA Clinical Trial).⁷

Excellent Night Vision

EVO provides postoperative improvement in mesopic contrast sensitivity (CS) with and without glare.⁵

Low Higher-Order Aberrations

Low induction of coma-like, spherical-like and total higher-order aberrations (HOA).¹⁰

Safety

Safety data suggest reduced rates of anterior subcapsular cataract and pupillary block relative to earlier models.^1,7
